<p>A conference of librarians in Texas this week featured a lineup of drag queens, a speech from Critical Race Theory (CRT) firebrand Ibram X. Kendi and evangelizing about veganism in what one parent advocate called a &#8220;huge F-you to parents.&#8221;</p>
<p>The keynote speaker at the Texas Library Association&#8217;s &#8220;After Hours&#8221; session in Fort Worth was Alyssa Edwards, also known as Justin Johnson, who the program described as a drag performer and television personality. Edwards&#8217;s speech was followed by &#8220;Drag Queen Storytime,&#8221; featuring self-styled drag queen where Miss Jenna Skyy reading to the attendees.</p>
<p>&#8220;What they rely on is the fact that librarians have one of the highest goodwill ratings of any profession, so they use it to get away with a lot, because no one suspects that a librarian would groom their children,&#8221; Dan Kleinman, a parent advocate who runs the group SafeLibraries, told The Daily Wire. &#8220;This is a direct screw-you to all the legislators down there,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is a huge F-you to parents.&#8221;</p>
<p>Parent groups around the nation have raised objections to the &#8220;Drag Queen Story Hour&#8221; trend, in which public libraries host men dressed as women to read stories to young children. In 2019, the Houston Public Library was rocked by a scandal when it was revealed that a drag queen it brought in to read to kids had been convicted of sexually assaulting an 8 year old, <a href="https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/houston-public-library-admits-registered-child-sex-offender-read-to-kids-in-drag-queen-storytime/285-becf3a0d-56c5-4f3c-96df-add07bbd002a">KHOU</a> reported. The library admitted it did not conduct a background check on the drag queen, in violation of its own guidelines.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://txla.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/TLA2022-FinalProgramUpdate_April.pdf">schedule</a> for this year&#8217;s statewide conference, held Monday and Tuesday revealed an agenda seemingly at odds with the red state&#8217;s majority views on CRT and gender ideology. Much of the two-day program had little to do with providing books to citizens, but rather pushing fringe leftist ideology, including one session on turning libraries into &#8220;Veganbraries,&#8221; which would use libraries to push the vegan lifestyle.</p>
<p>The conference also featured a speech from critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi and one from Jerry Hawkins, the executive director of Dallas Truth, Racial Healing, &amp; Transformation, an initiative of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a major pusher of radical race theory.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, the American Library Association chose a self-described <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/marxist-elected-to-head-american-library-association?utm_campaign=64470">&#8220;Marxist lesbian&#8221;</a> as its president-elect. Her platform seemed to have little to do with literature, saying &#8220;So many of us find ourselves at the ends of our worlds. The consequences of decades of unchecked climate change, class war, white supremacy, and imperialism have led us here.&#8221;</p>
